Instruction Duplication as an Inference-Time Control Primitive

Instruction duplication is a simple, inference‑time control that repeats the procedural instruction in a language‑model output without retraining or decoding changes. In experiments across seven instruction‑tuned models on 300 medical multiple‑choice questions, duplicating the instruction increased the proportion of deterministic All‑8 diagnostic‑responses from 90.22 % to 93.17 % and reduced failures by 30.2 %. The technique also improved pre‑provisional TF‑IDF recall and, in downstream Answer Engineering scenarios, significantly raised success rates for specific endpoints.

Instruction Duplication as an Inference-Time Control Primitive

The paper introduces instruction duplication, a simple inference‑time control that repeats the procedural instruction without retraining or decoding changes. Across seven instruction‑tuned models and 16,800 scheduled generations, duplicating the instruction improves deterministic All‑8 diagnostic‑response success from 90.22% to 93.17% and reduces failures by 30.2%. In downstream Answer Engineering scenarios, duplication further boosts success rates, demonstrating its practical impact on systems that rely on the generated trajectory.
